Individual Research Contributions to Group Project

24/01/2025: Form Research Group

04/02/2025: Discuss Research Topics and Finalize Selection

  • We discussed two potential research topics:
    • SLA 3D Printers (ZhiGuang's idea)
    • Rotary Drones (Yuneec H850)
  • Each member presented the advantages and disadvantages of their proposed topic.
  • The group ultimately decided to proceed with the SLA 3D Printer topic.
  • We also discussed ideas for PeckShien to draft the meeting minutes.

11/02/2025: Develop Project Title Ideas

  • We brainstormed and proposed various ideas for the project title.

21/02/2025: Draft Problem Statement

  • We collaborated to develop the problem statement, focusing on the ideal situation, the existing gap, and the project's goal.
  • We finalised the problem statement and decided to proceed with PeckShien's idea to implement a LiDAR and Sonar sensor system at traffic crossings.
11/03/25
  • I did the research for the Introduction for the technical report, and constructed the Introduction section. Did research in current pedestrian safety measures in Singapore, the impact of road traffic accidents worldwide, implementation of smart traffic systems in other countries and the definition of Ai, LiDAR and Sonar.
14/03/25
  • I did the presentation slides for the introduction section and wrote out a presentation script, participated in the group meetings in practising for the presentation.
25/03/25
  • Attended the consultation session and noticed the possible areas that we could further improve on, such as some of the figures are more suitable to be put into the Appendix than the main paragraphs. Updated the report making the necessary changes. Contributed to doing the primary research by going to different pedestrian crossings (Holland Village & Orchard Road) to observe pedestrian behaviours.
